USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 5th June 2009
Leaving Kansas, Welcome Colorado.
Hey.. Look who you run into at some
gas station in the middle of nowhere..
It's the famous and funny Scott McPartland and Dave Lewison.
Aha.. Perhaps Nebraska will give me
some storm luck.
I see a storm.
We have cows.
Big Anvil..
Around 300 chasers on this storm, including
the massive Vortex2 Crew.
Did I follow... I did.
Waiting for a funnel.
A LOT OF CHASERS.
Nice structure.
Come on... Perfect territory for a
Tornado.. Nothing about for miles.
Wow.. Now that's pretty.
Updraft base from hell.
Rotation...
The storm looked amazing.
Multiple levels of wind shear.
Oh no.. A town is in the direct path
of this storm.
Wow.
This entire cloud base was violently
rotating.
Sheriff overwhelmed by the storm.
People are still driving into the storm
core.
Not a wise move.. This can drop a
wedge tornado at any time.
The motion was unbelievable.
Some residents fleeing.
It looks like a tornado, but it was not..
not far off though.
Storm moving South East.
Scared yet?
Some people are...
Chasers everywhere.
Doppler on wheels with lightning rod
attached.
Cool.
Very cool.
There goes the Sheriff.
Objects in mirror are closer than they
appear.
Another Mobile Doppler Radar.. One of many.
It's trying again.
Shelf Cloud.
Vortex team.
A cuter Mobile Doppler Radar
Here's yet another one.
This was nuts.
Lightning show.
Storm chasing almost over.
It's official... The most inactive season
on record since 1996.. Bad year for chasing, but I still got some ok
storms.
Until next time.....
